More By The Wilderness of Manitoba

The Toronto folk five-piece have crafted a finely-tuned, full-length follow-up to their 2009 EP Hymns of Love & Spirits. A cross between the lush crescendos of Fleet Foxes and the quiet longings of Great Lake Swimmers, When You Left The Fire unfolds like an enchanting campfire narrative. Teeming with nature imagery, four-part vocal harmonies and hypnotic instrumentals, the album tells eerie, somber tales of hardship and hope.

Although not your typical light and breezy summertime release, When You Left The Fire offers a fitting soundtrack for the more serene, reflective moments as the day winds down. Overall, When You Left The Fire feels best suited for the colder months – revisit this album in the fall or winter and you won’t want to leave the fire anytime soon.
